Recently, as the importance of career education is being given more
emphasis than admission education, changes in perceptions are occurring in school
education. Therefore, the present study attempts to theoretically review educational
methods that suit the direction that the free semester policy is pursuing, design a
program based on this, make actual applications, and observe the results. First,
methodic aspects were observed by reviewing the theoretical aspects of 3On’s
project based learning. 3On’s refers to educational stimulation from the multiple
aspects of minds-on, hands-on, and hearts-on and in connection with project based
learning, the direction pursued by the free semester policy can be satisfied more
diversely through self-directed learning, creative experience, experiences using the
physical body, various expressions, self-examination, participation, and cooperation.
Based on these theoretical bases, learning principles were deduced, practical and
integrated assignments were developed, and a 10 session program was applied to
12 third year middle school students. As a result, positive responses regarding in
the program. Through results from this study, we expect more practical
information to be provided to schools applying the free semester policy and thus
more experiential career education to be activated.
